Table Saw Blade Guard/Dust Collector, mark2

So, basically, here is what I want

Only $175 (not including saw and dust collector) but a nice set up.

I found a blade guard at the local restore for $4.00.  After a little hacksaw work and a trip to the local metal suppliers scrap pile ($1.00) I took it to a welder and here is what I got.

 Drilled two mounting holes in the rear support for the side table.

Foam block just a prop to lift guard for photo. Jury still out on the anti kick back feature.

Now all I have to do is rig an attachment for the dust collector already located overhead. Total so far $22.50.

Weather perfect outside so I'd better get to work.
